At the beginning of the year, I was clicking through my to-read shelf on Goodreads, and I noticed how many books I have on my shelves that are in one way or another connected to Ireland. I am Irish by heritage – my maiden name is Shannon, like the river – and so have a habit of picking up both fiction and nonfiction written by Irish authors, set in Ireland, or involving Irish characters. That gave me the idea for this challenge.
